New here and first post. Soo happy I found this community. I had a laparoscopy 2 months ago. I had right endometrium. My doctor removed 2 cysts on my right ovarie and a few small ones on my left ovarie. She also did a D&C. I'm on my second period since surgery and I feel like it's been worse/the same since before surgery 😭. Has this happened to anyone. I'm at a loss and dont know what to do. Birth control or hysterectomy. Any advice would be appreciated 💕

Hi welcome and i had a laproscopy last may felt good for about 5 days, then pain got progressively worse and still very very heavy periods.i had scar tissue on my right ivary and bowel.
I have tried so many hormone pills nothing has made a difference. Ive ended up having to take morphine just to avoid getting taken into hospital die to the amount of pain.
I am going to see a private gyneocologist to see if a hysterectomy would benifit me as i have tried so many routes to cope woth my pain and heavy bleeding but all those routes failed.
Good luck xxx hope you find some relief xx

I still had no relief in pain for a month or two after my excision surgery. I was depressed and felt hopeless. Then I slowly started to feel my symptoms lessen a bit. I wasn’t able to start pelvic floor PT until 3/4 months post op due to COVID, but once I did it was amazing. I stuck to my PT and did at home stretches. My pain is not at zero, but it’s so small that it doesn’t restrict my ability to do anything. Everything I found painful prior to surgery is now no longer painful. Hang in there.

I’m sorry you’re still in pain! It’s been a really long time since my surgery, but i remember being in a lot of pain after surgery of course & only noticing a minor difference in my pain level. If anything, I got a confirmed diagnosis of stage 3 with implantation on my liver too. Accupuncture did wonders for me plus Errin birth control after my son seemed to help more than other birth cobtrol options. It’s about finding what works for you— trial & error mostly! Good luck and i hope it gets better for you.
